Swords & Wizardry won a Silver ENnie Award for Best Free Product at GenCon tonight. If nothing else, it shows that retro-clones are starting to get some recognition outside the old school renaissance. I can't deny that I'd have much rather seen
S&W walk away with the gold award, but second place is nothing to sneer at and Matt Finch deserves a round of applause for having produced a game that's received a lot of positive attention in the hobby. Bravo!
I am thrilled with this. Silver is nothing to sneeze at and Finch & CO deserve a round or two for the effort. Perhaps this is what is needed to get the classic style back into the more broad gaming public!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the results, and folks seem to favor the big publishers. With how the old school community was campaigning for S&W success, I'm surprised Finch did not get gold!
ReplyDeleteHe really deserved that silver! =D
Congrats Matt!
ReplyDeleteGreat job for all those involved, esp. Matt!
